PetrolTed whats going on with the forum settings?

[bosshog]

Ted,
since I've upgraded to win2K, I have to log on every time a visit the site. All the relavent check box's cookies,etc are ticked in IE and it works fine for other sites. Not this one though.

Also when I'm logging in I cannot see the forum 'Website and Comments' - only when I'm logged out!

whats happening!

[JonRB]

I'm running Win2K at home and at work and don't experience this. It must be some settings somewhere rather than Win2K itself.

You haven't started using a personal firewall like ZoneAlarm, have you? That can sometimes cause problems.

Check your cookies, maybe delete the PH one then power off and start again. I'm using win2k with no problems.

This sounds like you have it hidden in your profile preferences - check the settings and it should be sorted.

Cheers,

Try logging out and then back in again - solved the problem for me

Why 2K and not XP ?

I wouldn't want to back to 2K now I've been using XP for a while. Is it for 'home' use

[Gavinr]

I have to log-in after every time my Dad uses it to surf for dodgy sites and then deletes the visited list.
Hope this help's. I thought he was too old for that kind of thing.

So you dad is using the computer to find erotic pictures of brake upgrades. I bet you use it to find the best tea to make for him to fit them. Looking forward to the next run- especially when your new goodies are fitted

Brakes are definately next, or I could just leave a bigger gap to the car in front (a Toyota?). Are you coming to Pie On The Beech? I need to show dad the Ultima, should be enough to persuad him to get one.

Why XP? Its only 2K with a load more eye-candy, and in standard form can't even participate as a workstation on a domain! I can't see anything in XP to tempt me away from my stable 2K installation at present.

XP is a pain in the arse , I have to connect to the internet to serch for files on the PC ??

[rrouse]

I'm running Win2K server with IE 5.5 and all areas of the site work fine.

XP looks like MS got Fisher Price in to design the UI.

[simonelite501]

What the hell are you lot on about!

[PetrolTed]

I use Win 2000 on my PC and don't suffer the same problem. It's likely to be something to do with cookie permissions/expiry.

[steve-p]

I've got both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional systems. I would pick XP over 2000 every time after using it for a year. Hardware support is more comprehensive, some of the UI changes are a usability improvement and WMP8 is much better. Stability wise both machines are on 24/7 and get rebooted about once every 2 months, so no real difference.

No you don't, you must have some settings up the shoot. Mind you I have gone from XP Home to XP Professional to use my laptop at work rather than the sub-standard laptop they would give me.
